Abstract

Hopes Clark has recovered from his late illness. Sees Clark's son Conway quite often. Mr Strauss left New York for Washington when he was appointed to the Cabinet so haven't been able to take Conway to meet him. Strauss and his three brothers are all strong Democrats, although Oscar is now a Republican due to his relations with Mr Roosevelt. Talks about the process of electing judges in America and how it impairs the independence of the bench.
